>The Digital Divide Network (DDN) tackles the growing gap between those who
>have access to technology and information skills and those who do not
>through a powerful knowledge network. The purpose of the DDN is to enable
>and facilitate the sharing of ideas, information and creative solutions
>among industry partners, private foundations, nonprofit organizations and
>governments. For the first time, information technology partners from
>diverse sectors of the industry are coming together to take on this
>critical societal issue. Like never before, effective partnerships are
>being forged through this network in order to leverage the best ideas to
>reach the most chronically under-served American residents.
